I rebuilt my home on a foundation of Dreams!


18 more days until I finally hit the stage and showcase my HARD work.. I can honestly say that when I embarked on this adventure to becoming the next Fitness Pro with The WBFF,  I had no idea what I was getting myself into. My life has always been busy, but the past six months have been insane. I’ve found myself constantly questioning my motives, my intentions, my desires, my fears, my willingness to do WHATEVER it takes to get my physique in perfect shape.

HOWEVER, whatever it takes has been an internal battle over the past six weeks. The closer that I get to show time, the more my heart aches to be in the gym training with my coach and teammates. However, I have a full time career in radio, which is fast paced, stressful and a very demanding environment. So, my workouts with my team are literally an hour, and then I’m back in the fast lane.  Then I hit the gym on my own for cardio…  Along with my 50+ work weeks, I’m raising my little sister (16) and I have my daughter who’s (14).  Yes, I have TWO teenage girls! Our lives are nothing short of OUTRAGEOUS!

Many people ask why? That’s a very complex question, that I’m going to answer simply. We lost my mother to breast cancer. After experiencing severe depression and lost motivation. I needed to prove to  myself that I could do this. So, in 2011 I decided that I was going to train for a fitness competition.  Thankfully God placed my amazing coach Doug Casebier in my path. He also, lead me to my wonderful sponsor West Coast Nutrition Roseville. Without the support from both of them, this journey would have been nearly IMPOSSIBLE.

April 28th is right around the corner. My passport has arrived, my plane ticket has been purchased, my hotel is book’d,  my suits are completed and my team wear is going to IMPRESS the judges.. After all the tears, sweat and sacrifice, I’m honored that I will be able to share my journey with The WBFF and the amazing people who’ve been following me on my journey.

My ultimate goal is to share my story of a family that has overcome heartbreak with the loss of our mother,  and rebuilt our home on a foundation of Dreams!

Much Love to you all,
Jess
